It was the day after Vlad and Mag's wedding anniversary. Now it was their youngest child's Danielle's twelfth birthday! Everyone had been looking forward to it. After all, your twelfth birthday is your final "kid" birthday before you enter your teens.
Once again, the Masters family went all out to their children's birthdays. So naturally, Danielle couldn't wait to see what her parents had in store for her birthday. Of course, the guest list consists of their otherworldly companions plus a few trusted humans.
Either way? The adorable young girl couldn't wait to see what her parents had come up with. She picked up the outfit her mother chose for her to wear, which consisted of a cute fuchsia shirt with embroidered lace. Plus a new pair of trendy coal-black jeans, and lastly, brand-new multicolored sneakers.
Bounding down for breakfast, the aroma of her mother's blueberry/chocolate chip pancakes overfilled her senses. Squeaking in delight, she entered the dining room and found that all her favorites were laid out before her. "Morning, sweetheart! Happy birthday, Danielle! May all your wishes come true!" her mother, Magdalene, welcomed her.
"Good morning, Mom! You've surpassed yourself!" considering on their birthdays, Vlad and Mag cooked all the meals themselves. Her mother grinned, "Thank you, sweetheart. I hope you enjoy your Neapolitan cake. I'm confident your father will have it prepared by the time the party starts this afternoon," her mother assured her.
Before Danielle could respond, her older siblings arrived in the room. "Happy birthday, little sister. Again, I wouldn't fret regarding your favorite type of cake. I already helped put the ingredients together with easy-to-follow online videos so Dad can't possibly mess it up," her elder sister Jazz informed her while giving her a big hug.
"I've already made the frosting for the cake, plus picked out the candles. So don't stress, sis. Your cake will be phenomenal!" Danny assured his sister, who was bursting with happiness.
"I cannot wait! This is so perfect!" Danielle was so delighted that she converted into her ghost form and let loose sparks of green energy. Her mother gently reminded her that she needed to calm down. While they had disclosed to their human guests and servants their family's hybrid nature?
They still had to be attentive to humans like the paparazzi sneaking onto the property who could expose them. Even with the most exemplary security system in both worlds? Humans remained relentless and cunning individuals.
Also, the professional gymnastic team they'd managed to arrange to perform for their daughter was ignorant of their hybrid status. Therefore, they again needed to be mindful.
Danielle did appreciate witnessing some of her favorite gymnasts performing a private show for her even more when she got to interact with them. In addition, they gave her suggestions to improve her skills. Like the rest of the Masters' parties this year? So far, all of them have been a smashing success!
